Verizon netbook webinars starting soon -- launches imminent?

We've known for months now that Verizon was looking to add WWAN-enabled netbooks to its growing repertoire of devices, and now it looks like hard facts are about to flow. An internal Verizon Wireless announcement has informed employees that managers will be required to attend a sure-to-be-invigorating netbook webinar to explain to them exactly what these not-at-all-recognized machines are. The lower level folks will have to suffer through the same slide deck a few days later, which leads us to believe that the carrier is just hours, days or millenniums away from spilling more details about this whole initiative. Can we offer a pinch of advice, VZW? Subsidize 'em deep, offer more than two and cut the asking price on your HTC Touch Diamond by at least 50 percent.

i really do want a netbook but i'm skeptical of buying one from a cellphone company since i can already tether the phone i have. it depends though, if they could subsidize it enough it may be worth it. but at the same time, a mobile broadband bill would probably negate any savings since i would still be paying my cellphone bill too. i dont know, make with the info VZW.

S/b "millennia," if memory serves.
